Hi guys. I have done a short research on the iphone to get as my spare phone (which will unlikely be used everyday) and I have settled on the iphone6s (based on my budget).

Was wondering, is it advisable to get the 6s from the US (I'm going there soon) as long as it's not locked to a particular telco or should i just get the 6s here through shopee/lazada? Will there be any problems if I were to get it in the US and bring it back here to use, aside from the charging pin? If there is a difference in the pins.. How about warranty?

Would appreciate any feedback, thanks!

There is definitely a difference in the pin.

As long as it's carrier-unlocked and is on the right band (I'm working off memory here, I'm not sure if it was only applicable for the older iPhones), the phone should be useable in Malaysia.

You might however have a problem with the warranty. It's a mixed bag really. Some have claimed that the local AASP will honour the warranty. Some have said that they won't.

If the price difference isn't that great, I personally think you should just get it here (especially if you will be based in Malaysia).

Ya, Thanks for the reply. I've decided to get it here in Malaysia instead.

Haha, not yet unfortunately.. I was looking at it (new one of course) during the 11.11 sale but no particular discounts noted (if any seller on those platforms are around, 'hint' 'hint' biggrin.gif )... Also I'm not too urgent to get it, afterall it's just going to be a spare phone; had wanted to before my travel so that i could used it then but the 'enthusiasm' in me died when i returned tongue.gif .. Still, I'll be getting it eventually smile.gif ..
